Drove a Turbo Yaris

[scape]

just to sum up: what would this kit typically include, and what else would be expected/recommended beyond what the kit would come with?
I vote for a base mapping for 80 degrees, sea level, and ~40-50% humidity: that'd effectively cover many people and could be done relatively easy in a miami-based shop; many would be appreciative of a tune-out-the-door so to speak.
hypothetically, where does this put the power figures with the rough concept of this kit?

Dibs on being the guinea pig (if one is even necessary) if it nets me a discount.

I don't think you guys could have picked a better time to collaborate lmao. I almost flat out bought the Zage kit (and I still may), but now I potentially have options!

And I gotta agree with almost everyone here - a base tune would be VERY beneficial.

The kit has been running on the guys car for like a year now and makes 150-160whp. My concern besides a base map is the line from the oil pan, will you include a tapped pan, or will we have to tap ourselves. I just ask because I have to travel 1-2hrs away to go to a shop if i can find anyone locally to do it. I'm 99% sure I can, but it may be the same or worse for other people wanting to buy the kit. I guess you guys will work out the datails but If I was going to buy the kit I would want: manifold, turbo, downpipe (with bung for air/fuel) , intercooler, piping, oil pan with tap, lines and fittings, manual boost controller, BOV (with option for hks or greddy), EMS with basemap, and all hardware & instruction needed.

also are you going to do both water and oil cooled lines? and pnp harness option?

Dyno sheet please.

[RacerFreakXXX]

he has them posted in his pics, thiese look like the ones w/o the 1zz-fe injectors.

[PETERPOOP]

thanks. i haven't seen these yet. could the torque be increased with a proper dyno tune? I mean, obviously all numbers will probably increase, but is the gap between HP and TQ usually similar to what is shown there on turbo applications?

I think the GT28 on a stock motor is not the appropriate turbo. It would be doggish at 6 psi. The GT25 worked great on my stock motor, it's nimble, spools fast and delivers the power range intended for the kit we're working on.

My intention is to have Carlos build a 2nd kit that I can use for a test car. With two test cars, I think we'll have solid and reliable data. We'll also all have proof (which some people will want to see) that Carlos delivers quality, on time. I believe in him, but it's faith til a kit shows up in a box, if you know what I mean. NO disrespect intended, just to be clear!

+1 on the gt28, a gt25 would be the best choice w/o a built motor and even then it can still destroy our motor at mid to high psi.

[RacerFreakXXX]

so why go gt28 over the gt25?

[cali yaris]

thanks for clarifying that, I think I created the confusion.

As for gt25 vs gt28, there sure is a difference in spooling up.

This is getting exciting.

Let's just hope this won't be you.

Personally cdydjded, I think the industrial look is great. That kit looks like it seriously gonna whoop some ass. It would have all kinds of people asking questions when U pop the hood. Being a mechanic for about 12 years, functional is always better at the stop light then pretty. Its better to spank their ass and then ask how much they spent on their chrome later!
What did U use to street tune? Is a wide band A/F ratio sensor and guage all that is needed. Or what other equipment is needed if any?

[cali yaris]

FIC can be tuned with a laptop. My car has the EMS, but same idea. We street tuned also before going to the dyno for tweaking.

[Nexus1155]

Thx for the compliments. I used the good old fashion butt dyno first to tune the AEM FIC. Eventually Ill throw is back on the dyno. Im also installing a AEM wide band soon so Ill use that in conjuction with the butt dyno...

Wait, so you tuned it by feel without knowing what AFR you are? Or did you have it on the dyno, or atleast have a handheld wideband and stuck a tailpipe sniffer in the back? Please tell me you did.

What would also be cool i think that Garm or someone mentioned in a previous thread is a downpipe with multiple bungs and one is sealed off until later use, I do not know if your kit has this already.

And whoever was arguing about the GT25 vs. GT28, joey is right, the ones that he listed are almost identical turbos with the same fingerprint maps if you look at them. There is a slight difference, yes, but nothing extremely significant. Something more substantial would be a GT2860R + or something. larger

[cali yaris]

which 28 is the disco potato?

[Mouse]

I wouldn't mind driving or just taking a ride in your turbo yaris.....Simply cause it might sway me from getting something else.

[Russelt3hPirate]

I don't think we'll be turbocharging our yaris before we get a LSD but I like what I'm seeing here.
